I am starting this thread for new members to use as a reference source when trying to understand who they are posting with on this website. Currently, Climate-debate.com is dominated by a few trolls who's goal is to prevent meaningful discussion about climate change science by posting harassing and intimidating content in response to those who do want to discuss in an adult-like fashion.

I have also started a thread asking branner, this website's administrator, to take immediate action to save Climate-debate.com from these and other trolls who commonly plague and destroy websites like this one. It is at:

http://www.climate-debate.com/forum/why-is-climate-debate-com-so-messed-up-d15-e788.php#post_4318

I also moderate one sub-forum here called Sharing Ideas (SI), which is a harassment free sub-forum. Unfortunately, branner allows other members to extract content from SI and post it elsewhere on Cimate-debate.com solely for the purpose of harassing the person who made the original post in SI, but doing it in a thread where they are free from the SI no-harassment guidelines. Worse yet, they are allowed to do this without the permission of the person who posted in SI.

Anyways, I appreciate any support you can give to turning this website around into a forum that is for adults and free of trolls.

In the meantime, I hope this thread is useful.

I am trafn, and in 2014, I wrote a book about climate change titled "Bursting the atmosphere: what happens when rain falls up" (free PDF version of its 1st edition attached below). I'm currently working its 2nd edition which I hope to publish in 2016. Over a month ago, I first came to Climate-debate.com in the hope of finding a forum to discuss climate change science in a rational, adult-like manner where I could talk about the new ideas I wanted to include in this 2nd edition.

Unfortunately, what I found was a website plagued by trolls who are intent on preventing any rational discussion of climate change science from happening. So, I've started a new thread asking the website's administration to make Climate-debate.com a troll-free zone. It's at:

http://www.climate-debate.com/forum/why-is-climate-debate-com-so-messed-up-d15-e788.php#post_4318

If you'd like to better understand my perspective when I post, here is a brief review of some of my science relevant background:

1. I hold a dual B.S. degree in Science Education and Psychology (Syracuse Univserity).

2. I was a volunteer research assistant in the Department of Psychology during my undergraduate studies at Syracuse University.

3. I was a paid research assistant in the Department of Chemistry during my undergraduate studies at Syracuse University.

4. I earned New York State K-12 teaching certification in physics, chemistry, biology, general science and general mathematics.

5. I've taught at the high school level, the graduate degree level, the post-graduate degree level, as well as the State medical re-licensure level.

6. I wrote a spectral-analysis technical manual for the fabric dying industry which was underwritten and distributed by both DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) and ACS (Applied Color Systems).

7. I pioneered the use of computerized academic test-banking at what, in the late 1908's, was the second largest under-graduate educational institution in the United States (Miami-Dade Community College).

8. I have created new medical procedures such as sliding-scale titration of morphine and patient compliance coding for treating people suffering from terminal illnesses.

9. I have been published in peer reviewed science journals including The Journal of Organic Chemistry, Medical Hypothesis, and The American Journal of Pain Management.

10. I have written two books on AIDS.

11. I am an overall nice guy (did I also mention that I am humble, too?).

Granted, I may not be perfect at interpreting or applying the scientific method, but, then again, who is.

Who is IBdaMann?

I am trafn, and I have been here posting on Climate-debate.com for many weeks now. I started this thread as a resource for new members so that they will have a better understanding of what to expect when they interact with other members here. To that end, I will give you my experienced impression of IBdaMann.

IBdaMann is a troll who is trying to prevent meaningful, adult-like discussion of climate change science from happening here on Climate-debate.com. He does so by using the following tactics:

1. When you first post here, he will respond in an inquisitive, seemingly friendly manner that is designed to engage you in further conversation.

2. His follow-up posts are dominated by repeatedly asking others to "define" what they are talking about, and when they do, he merely requests more definitions. He does this so as to create a state of confusion in the conversation and, thereby, he blocks meaningful discussion.

3. He likes to demand an impossible level of proof, commonly by citing Karl Poopers "Falsifiable Models,'' as to the existence of climate change science. Since this is still a relatively new field of study less than 50 years old, there is not enough data yet to provide such global, big-picture proof. Yet, he demands such proof only to obstruct meaningful discussion.

4. When people try to reason with him, he repeatedly insults them as either being religious-based in their ideas, Marxists, or he uses is favorite accusation and calls them a "warmazombie." If you'd like to get an idea of how often he does this, do a search on the word "warmazombie" (without the quotes, of course).

5. He likes to quote faith-based individuals as if they were recognized authorities within the scientific community. Most recently, he did this in two threads where he quoted Cliff Harris:

http://www.climate-debate.com/forum/understanding-albedo-d6-e781.php#post_4015

- and -

http://www.climate-debate.com/forum/is-the-gulf-stream-slowing-down-d11-e725.php#post_2691

If you enjoy interacting with a troll, IBdaMann is probably the most experienced and most challenging troll currently posting on Climate-debate.com.

If you do not enjoy interacting with a troll, I strongly advise against responding to him, and that you support my initiative to ban trolls from this website which is at:

Who is Into the Night?

I am trafn, and I have been here posting on Climate-debate.com for many weeks now. I started this thread as a resource for new members so that they will have a better understanding of what to expect when they interact with other members here. To that end, I will give you my experienced impression of Into the Night.

1. Just like IBdaMann, when you first post here, Into the Night will respond in an inquisitive, seemingly friendly manner that is designed to engage you in further conversation.

2. His follow-up posts are dominated by repeatedly asking others to "provide data" to back up what they are talking about, and when they do, he repeatedly claims that your data is worthless and requests that you supply him with more data. He has created a thread just for this purpose called The Data Mine. He does this so as to create a state of confusion in the conversation and, thereby, he blocks meaningful discussion.

3. He likes to claim that nearly every respected authority in the scientific community presents only "fudged" data with respect to climate change science. While there have been cases where this has happened in every field of science, he tends to globally apply this accusation to any data you provide him (example here).

4. He repeatedly accuses people of committing bulverism whenever another troll is under attack for quoting a religious-based website like
https://overpopulationisamyth.com as if it were a science-based one (example here).

If you enjoy interacting with a troll, Into the Night is probably one of the most experienced and most challenging trolls currently posting on Climate-debate.com, only second to IBdaMann.

If you do not enjoy interacting with a troll, I strongly advise against responding to him, and that you support my initiative to ban trolls from this website which is at:

I started this thread as a resource for new members so that they will have a better understanding of what to expect when they interact with other members here. To that end, I will give you my experienced impression of Tim the plumber.

1. Just like IBdaMann and Into the Night, when you first post here, Tim the plumber will respond in an inquisitive, seemingly friendly manner that is designed to engage you in further conversation.

2. If you do not agree with his point of view, then in his follow-up posts he will accuse you of wanting to murder millions of people through supporting things like food-based bio-fuel. Here was my most recent response after he did this to me (click here).

3. He repeatedly cites the faith-based website https://overpopulationisamyth.com as a justification for him claiming that anyone who believes in M2C2 is murdering millions of people.

If you enjoy interacting with a troll, Tim the plumber is probably not going to be much of a challenge, as he is a self-admitted dyslexic who has difficulty posting in a contiguously coherent manner.

If you do not enjoy interacting with a troll, I strongly advise against responding to him, and that you support my initiative to ban trolls from this website which is at:

Greetings newcomers,

I draw your attention to this so you will be cautious.

This website has a notorious history.

So tragic.

People wanted to discuss a matter of tremendous importance to humanity.

What they got was a place where the unsuspecting were pounced upon by a team of sadists.

As a real world scientist, it is particularly enraging that so many trolls pretend that their position has something to do with valid science.

Frankly, I hate these guys and I've only known them a few weeks.

They probably aren't going away.

If they were capable of shame, they have left a rich trail of evidence with which to shame them.

Scroll up for some beautiful images.

They certainly make a useful contribution to the climate debate, don't they.

Actually, they do!

At least they do, in this particular "climate debate".

The above images are the vampire standing outside the window.

But DON'T "be afraid, very afraid".

Vampires can only come in if they are invited.

If you don't respond, the vampire can't come in.

The vampire would never dare expose himself by presenting an original argument of his own.

Every sentence could be subjected to ridicule.

The vampire needs you to respond so that YOU present an argument that could have every sentence subjected to ridicule.

He's just a pathetic thing trying to scare you if you don't invite him in.

I think actually a few of these individuals were banned from a political forum and found a home here. I think I do understand the basis of natural climate change. It's as ITN once told me, I can't understand the Gulf Stream if I haven't been there. And yet I have sailed it on a freighter.
At the moment, IMO the entire climate debate became politicized when Al Gore got involved. With that said, it should actually be a discussion which isn't happening. Debates are about winning an argument. And what most people who are concerned with climate change do not consider, what about sustainability or conservation? These guys hate me because they say I'm an environmentalist.
That's worse than saying climate change or we need to lower CO2. They simply don't understand what they're talking about because they were exiled from a political forum.

There are basically 2 issues. How to change a political debate into a discussion?
And many people will not want to change their political view.
The 2nd issue is the science can be complicated. There are natural variations to regional climate variations. As an example, in another 100 to 200 years, the Delaware River will probably start freezing over again like it did in the mid 1700's.
Astrophysics actually explains that or just understanding moment of inertia. Basically if you have something that weighs 5.972 × 10^24 kg and rotates at 460 meters/second and orbits the Sun at 29.8 km/s, how does a shift of its mass influence those numbers?
With astrophysics then understanding the orbital velocity and the acceleration of the Sun's gravity needs to be considered. Then after this, how do aerosols influence the ozone layer? Then there's depletion of ground water, denuding forests, etc. which change refraction.
With refraction, a desert refracts light differently than a green space. Also vegetation absorbs solar radiation and converts CO2 and H2O into C6H12O6 while also creating fiber.
Basically there is no simple easy to understand answer.

WOW!

I think actually a few of these individuals were banned from a political forum and found a home here. I think I do understand the basis of natural climate change. It's as ITN once told me, I can't understand the Gulf Stream if I haven't been there. And yet I have sailed it on a freighter.
At the moment, IMO the entire climate debate became politicized when Al Gore got involved. With that said, it should actually be a discussion which isn't happening. Debates are about winning an argument. And what most people who are concerned with climate change do not consider, what about sustainability or conservation? These guys hate me because they say I'm an environmentalist.
That's worse than saying climate change or we need to lower CO2. They simply don't understand what they're talking about because they were exiled from a political forum.

This is MASTERFUL!

Yes. Since the board owner, Branner, would not ban us at trafn's mere insistence, trafn added Branner to the list as well, increasing the number to four.

The list had doubled in size since its creation.

What pissed me off was that Branner ended up in the #1 position. I had earned the top slot and yet I was denied just because of trafn's lack of professionalism.

As a real world chemist, you enrage me on a different level.

That is your scientific specialization, correct?

Did you really think you could bluff with all that BULLSHIT laughably ignorant presentation of "chemistry"?

Have you finally figured out that I really am a chemist?

When a member literally LIBELS another, is there any recourse?

"You are a liar. You do NOT have a degree in chemistry. That much is painfully obvious."

It is a gray area for legal action. Would only matter if anyone knew who "sealover" really is.

But shouldn't that be enough to get them banned.

It would certainly get them banned from any scientific professional association.

But they would have to be in one, before they could be kicked out.

So, that's not applicable.

Ten years ago, last time I did climate debate, one of my fellow trollslayers was a serial pest tracker.

The website we were posting on had a pretty large membership.

No like SOME websites we know, but I digress.

My fellow trollslayer was a serial pest tracking specialist.

She would quickly track down the serial pest history of the newest troll.

It was hilarious how often the story was the same.

A male troll was banned from some website somewhere else. Why?

Because some particularly vindictive female, and often described by the troll as "the most despised member of the (forum)"

Indeed, they despised her so much that they kicked him out because of her.

Same damn story from so many trolls.

An open letter to the moderator.

Dear moderator,

Please come pay a visit to your website.

Your intervention is needed.

There is a HORRIBLE new member called "sealover".

He is the worst troll ever.

He won't stop trolling his own threads!

He refuses to give the required definitions.

He forces us to call him a "liar" and confront him with our knowledge of his participation in nefarious communist conspiracies.

He post lies about having seen coral reefs being harmed, forcing us to expose him.

He forces us to post pictures of ugly clowns on his threads.

He forces us to keep repeating over and over and over...

No science. No argument. Fallacies 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

And he refuses to stop posting LIES in the name of SCIENCE.

Oh, dear moderator. You may still believe this was the wonderful site for free discussion that it used to be.

It is NOT. The troll is trying to take over his own threads. Please ban him now.

If we don't get rid of him soon, OTHER trolls might come here pretending to be scientists.

They, too, may refuse to allow us to control their discussions with own demands for unambiguous definitions.

They too may force us to intervene as they troll their own threads.

This place could turn into a nuthouse where rational discussion about climate science or any kind of environmental science.

You've got to ban "sealover" before he racks up 10000 posts of insults, accusations, and outrageous claims he knows we will be FORCED to respond to.

Not everyone agrees what a "troll" is, but I think we all agree "sealover" is one.

I wasn't planning to list my credentials.

My very first posts got multiple response with the same message.

I was accused of being a liar, pretending to have knowledge of science.

So many comments such as "Go learn some science."

So, I went ahead and mentioned that I had already spent plenty of time learning science.

No apologies. Just more extreme false accusations.

And the false accusations only become more absurd.

And I guess lignin is a carbohydrate and you just cannot reduce sulfate and everything they taught me all those years was just wrong.

But I'm pretty sure this is almost the only thread I ever post on that I did not start myself.

Looking at THIS thread, SEVEN YEARS AGO the same names that ruined the website then are still doing it. Very little traffic to this site any more. VERY little.

It seems like the goal is to prevent ANY discussion from getting started.

It seems like the goal is just to insult people who care about the future, who care about ANYTHING.

I would have been happy to be left alone while I posted my gibber babble buzzwords that nobody anywhere was ever required to read.

But I guess there isn't much else to read around here.

Maybe I should be flattered by the attention, but there is no doubt that insult has been the intention from the start.

And am I being threatened with banishment for my troll like behavior?

When was the last time anyone got banned around here?

I can't stop you from doing what you do.

What I truly hate you for is the targeting of your mean spirited attacks to the very people who want to try to make the world a better place.

Perhaps there is a special place in hell for trolls who ruin these kind of websites.
